Beginners Guitar Lessons

Today I got a classical guitar for Christmas. Everyone that I know that plays says that it is so easy without lessons and they caught on right away. All day I have been looking at pluckandplayguitar.com for lessons, but I am having serious problems with constantly holding the strings down hard enough, and with my fingers touching the wrong strings. Say I’m holding down the A string with my index finger, my index finger is always touching the D string also! I also am not getting the hang of tuning. Should I just keep practicing by myself? Or should I take real lessons?

The people that say it’s easy without lessons have natural aptitude for it, and then there is the rest of us who do need some guidance. There are some free and paid lessons available here: http://learnonlineguitar.info
